Noble Council

The Noble Council, or the Ruling Council of Darujhistan,[1] were the official rulers of the city of Darujhistan and members of the aristocracy. However, the true rulers were actually the T'orrud Cabal, a secretive group of mages. The Council held their meetings in Majesty Hall where the city's political debates were held, and laws to govern the city were written, debated and passed.

For two weeks, the Gadrobi district was plagued by a series of murders. Horribly mangled bodies were found every night. A mage was hired to investigate, but whatever he found terrified him. The Noble Council even went so far as to hire the Assassins' Guild to look into the matter, but no culprit was ever found. Instead, the killings stopped on their own. The presence of notorious necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach in the city at that time may have been merely coincidental.[3]
